"the genius of child--pre-socialization bliss. this collection makes my yearn to find the beauty in a ball of string and/or a hollowed nut. my citified feet are ruined."
"Even if you only read a vignette or two from this book, it's worthwhile. Colette's recollections of her childhood, and her parents in particular, is amazingly rich, both in style and emotional substance."
"I read this or Earthly Paradise every fall. Somehow it seems like the right time to fall into Colette's meditations on childhood and family and tramping through gardens and over fences into fields."
"This would have to be one of my very favourite Colette books. Sido was Colette's very earthed, very wise,very "french" Maman.Its some years since I read it which is why I have put it in my re-reads. But to savour their rustic village life again is like renewing an old acquaintance."
